Many bacteria use quorum sensing to control gene transcription based on population density. A recent study in PLOS Biology found that in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, two quorum sensing circuits activate each other, enhancing robustness and explaining their redundancy.
许多细菌利用群体感应来根据种群密度控制基因转录。《公共科学图书馆·生物学》最近的一项研究发现,在铜绿假单胞菌中,两个群体感应回路相互激活,增强了稳健性并解释了它们的冗余性。
